Past Faceoffs

Predictions

Data: One could conceivably see Fnatic losing to Vexxed as Envy lose best of 1 games to lower teams quite often; however, I don’t think Vex is of the necessary caliber to take down Fnatic. It’s possible that the game could be close but given the risk to reward it’s not worth it to bet against Fnatic.

Don’t take any of Fnatic’s recent online results too seriously. Usually in the run up to a major, we see teams do pretty bad online, running basic strats and not giving too much care. This is a big major – $250,000 up for grabs. Being fast tracked deeper into the tourney is what every team is aiming for here, and I don’t think Fnatic will perform badly like their recent online matches. In this LAN, we will see them give it 100%.

Vexed are a T2 team which in my opinion, do not measure up to Fnatic. Although an upset is possible, I don’t think they will be able to play well enough to overpower the likes of Fnatic. Still, they have two modes. Play extremely well and potentially win OR play horribly and lose.

Dont think the same will happen like last LAN against CLG, that would be a disaster for fnatic. I think fnatic will take this super serious and steamroll over them but its almost not worth it to bet on this unless you maxbet from 10 accounts.

Thijs here once again doing a prediction. This time we will take a look at Fnatic vs Vexed. It will be a best of 1 and the map is TBA.

This bet is pretty much straight forward. Fnatic should win this one without to much of a problem. They are just a whole different level of cs. You could go all in on Fnatic but the change you get nothing/horrible items as return is just big enough to say dont bet.

However you might hope for an overpay. An upset might happen but the odds are just to small and i dont think it will.

So first match of the major here, Fnatic vs Vexed in a BO1. Now going to keep this one a bit short since my point will be straight to, well the point.

Obviously Fnatic as of recent are not in their greatest shape, they seem to be recovering quite a bit as their online results are slowly but surely improving steadily, however I would not be in the ideal comfort zone, just yet. Obviously this is Fnatic, one of the best teams in the world, and in a LAN, for a major you can only expect them to dominate, especially Vexed, and that is what I fully expect here from Fnatic, a complete blowout and nothing else.

Vexed, I am not the biggest fan of to be honest. In my eyes at times they are decent, however not enough. In my eyes they should not be beating teams like Fnatic, at all as they on a team and individual level are just not as high as Fnatic. Their online results are mixed over the last few weeks and going into this LAN, they aren’t looking the hottest. Obviously last time these two met, it was 16:14 and 16:13 in favor of Fnatic, two-three weeks ago so right when Fnatic’s slump appeared to be at it’s worst, and definitely shows an upset is possible here, so no ruling that out here.

Overall, do I think Vexed can upset? Yes I certainly do considering this is a BO1, Do I think it will happen? No, it really shouldn’t as the scene here is just so much more in favor of Fnatic, and not to even mention they are clearly the heavy favorites here as a team. Will I bet on this match? no as the odds at 95-5 are just a nono and to get a return, I have to maxbet and honestly, in these circumstances I’m just not feeling it. Don’t advise betting here at all, however if you wish to, go ahead and ICB on Vexed, or I mean if you are some highroller with a huge inventory, and 300$ is not much to you, might aswell max I guess.
